Kitchen splashbacks
Kitchen grout collects grease and food splashes. Stained grout is best replaced.
Shower walls
Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.
How we handle regrouting in Forest Row
Grout is the filler between your tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water has a way in behind the tiling. We rake it out and replace it and renew the silicone at the edges. We work on bathroom floors, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks, and people most often call us about corners filled with grout instead of silicone and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean.
Homes around Forest Row range from older cottages to more recent houses. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

More services for Forest Row
Do you need regrouting in Forest Row?
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, and damp grout is where mould grows. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
If you look after a building such as Forest Row Church of England Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
Before booking anyone
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- The length of the guarantee
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

How we quote for regrouting
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The type of property
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Rinse the tiles after showering
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so it’s normally the first thing to need attention, long before the grout does.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left for a few years, they can become a leak, so get it looked at when you notice it.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, depending on the size of the job. Parking around Forest Row is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any tricky access
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Advice
Regrouting around Forest Row
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In the older streets around The Parish Church of the Holy Trinity, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Rented homes near East Grinstead station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
